Where are gophers normally found?
Old growth forests?
Grassy plains?
The article doesn’t mention how the gophers managed to live.
Were they eating pumice?
More pseudo-science.

Isn’t the pumice harmful to the gophers?

A piece of trivia - the class ring of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology - aka MIT) has a beaver.
Why?
Nature's engineer.

I watched he’d a documentary about Mt St Helens and what scientist predicted would happen vs what did happen. The scientist got a lot wrong. Scientist assumed vegetation would work its way up from the bottom of the mountain. Gophers and other burrowing animals survived. As the dug their way out and cleaned their dens seeds and organic material were moved out and grew. Den entrances were the first vegetation.
